P4P School
All teachers together take an oath of not commiting kids to physical punishments.
- Take an oath of not committing kids to subtle (mental) violence.
- (subtle violence means in any such form as, insulting words/language/tone, keep them standing for long time, touching toes, comparing them with others in a manner that they get humiliated in the midst of other kids)
- State publicly during prayer time every three months, that children will not be subjected to physical punishment.
- If any teacher breaches this rule then need not justify it, but ask for forgiveness from the child. Promise that it will not repeat in the future.
- Train parents once a month or if not possible, once in two months, for 2 hours. Provide training for 12 hours in an year. During training take an oath from the parents that:
- Will not physically punish the child.
- Will not insult the child.
- Will converse with the child every fortnight.
- In case of mistake they will ask its forgiveness and promise not to repeat it in the future.
- Every teacher shall read 2 books in a year on child development
- Every teacher will at least identify 10% of the students having skills others than in studying, will talk to the parents about it and encourage such activities and skills.
- To impart awareness about learning disabilities, 2 hour training will be provided, in which every teacher and parents of the ‘weak’ child will take active participation in. (P4P will provide a training module for the same and one teacher from the school will provide the training).
- Teacher will at least visit the home and converse with the parents of the children at least once in a year.
- Every teacher will whole heartedly try to de-addict at least 5 parents in a year.
